FLIR Cameras – Manual Firmware Update, Firmware updates for FLIR’s Handheld cameras were previously performed through FLIR Tools. However, as FLIR Tools has been discontinued, it may no longer automatically detect the latest firmware updates. Therefore, to keep your FLIR camera up to date with the latest firmware, you will have to perform the update manually.
This procedure will include detailed steps necessary to update the firmware on FLIR Cx, Ex, Exx,/Exx-EST, T4xx, T6xx, T5xx/T5xx-EST, T8xx and T10xx series cameras manually, without FLIR Tools software.

If the P/N starts with 55903/55904 (T6xx) or 62103/62104 (T4xx) it is a Mk II camera.
Special Case Exx-Series cameras built before 2017
The older Exx series cameras (E40, E50, E60, etc) are running an older OS, therefore, the procedure is slightly different for these models.
